why do white americans like speaking other languages
?? Why do people in general like speaking other languages? why are there languages? what is the point of words? why do we speak? why not just grunt and point at things so nobody can use language to culturally appropriate anything ever again?
Lust: Something that I find attractive. Pride: Something that I like about myself. Sloth: Something that I dislike about myself. Envy: Something I wish I was better at. Gluttony: One of my favorite foods. Wrath: Something that gets me angry. Greed: Something I can’t get enough of.

Frollo and Mother Gothel convince Quasimodo and Rapunzel that their lives are dependent on them. The two villains claim the outside world is a terrible place even though they know this is not true. They also constantly emotionally abuse their victims by implying their worthlessness and destroying their self-esteems. Quasimodo and Rapunzel sympathize with their captors and even believe their captors are protecting them and treating them with kindness. However, both captors are merely using and manipulating their victims for their own selfish purposes.
Belle does not sympathize with the Beast when she is treated poorly. She becomes angry and leaves the castle, only returning by her own wish so that the Beast (who saves her) does not freeze to death. She does not respond nicely towards the Beast until he treats her with respect. In this situation, Belle has control and is not manipulated into feeling for the Beast, nor does the Beast treat her disrespectfully after the first night. While the Beast does have an underlying motive as to keeping Belle in his castle, he abandons this idea and sets her free to make her happy. If anything, this story is a case of Lima Syndrome where the captor starts to sympathize with the victim.
Check out this post which refocuses the purpose of Beauty and the Beast from merely (and wrongly) being about Stockholm Syndrome to it’s original purpose.
FUCKING FINALLY
I don’t usually reblog stuff like this, but Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie and I’d like to have this on my page!
this is actually a very good analysis. I take back all the times I’ve called Beauty and the Beast a ‘stockholm syndrome’ romance.
If you’re ever debating wether you should continue to support that one popular blog/artist/writer/reporter/etc because you saw a callout post about them, consider the following:
Not all callout posts are made with good intentions; some are simply made to soil someone’s reputation out of spite or to make the poster feel a sense of moral superiority
Not all callout posts contain accurate and up to date information
The person being called out may have already apologized and amended their actions
The post could be drawing from simple hearsay and rumors
Some callout posts will include things someone did or said years ago
Some callout posts exaggerate the severity of someone’s actions
Look for buzzwords being used without explanation; ex: “Idk if any of you knew this but ________ is suuuuper abliest and transphobic so yeah uwu”
Always check sources and links & if no proof is provided, be wary. The burden of proof always lies on the accuser. Yes, it does. Yes, you should expect someone to give you proof for their claims. No, you are not doing anything wrong by asking for proof.
Do not take any information at face value. Ever.
You are not obligated to continue or end your support of someone simply because of a block of text on a blogging website. No one has control over who you do and do not follow and reblog from.
There ARE awful people out there and sometimes a callout post is absolutely in order to make a community aware of a bad apple. Callout posts were originally intended as warning signals to allow users to avoid toxic people.
